Solution

The correct option is B decreases
Gravitational force = Gm1m2r2
G: Gravitational constant.
m1,m2: masses of two bodies.
r: distance between two bodies.
Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two bodies. Hence, gravitational force decreases on increasing the distance between two bodies.
